This book gave me all the feels

I Loved this book so much! The author did an excellent job taking care to capturing some real life struggles that plus size people experience without the book feeling like it was outright fat shaming.it was handled with such care while also giving a voice to our FMC's past trauma and experiences.

This story of healing and giving love a second change is an absolute heart tugger and IM SO EXCITED FOR BOOK TWO!
You can not help but fall in love with all of Pack Ashwood because they just have so much love to give to Josie and she deserves every drop of it. 
The driving scene is so funny! 
I can’t wait for more

All I can say is what a cliffhanger! I need part 2 right now! In Part 1, Emilia Emerson gives her readers an in-depth explanation of the background of her characters including the trauma they went through to grow up who they are today. I was instantly hooked into this book once I learned about Josie and how she was put down by everyone including her own parents because of her weight and the way that she looked. I felt a connection to Josie because I have been in a similar situation as her with her weight and accepting herself for who she is. I was instantly in love with her chosen pack because of how deeply they cared for her and didn’t want to change her any way. In Part 1, Emilia allows her readers to watch the bond grow between Josie and her pack. I instantly loved the bond of this pack and my heart went out to them and hoped that everything would be okay. The spiciness was so cute and hot between the characters especially the after care following each scene! I was extremely anxious at the end of the book because I was upset and frustrated along with the characters about the government and the situation they are facing. I am awaiting part 2 and I hope that Josie and her pack have their HEA! 

Thank you Emilia Emerson for this ARC read!
